sorry to hear this
RIP Bob. I echo the comments above. Many used to throw abuse and try to ridicule him but he sailed above it all and was dedicated to our sport. He will be sadly missed. I was told that Hugh made him, I think the term is "executive director", so that he could attend various meetings connected with our sport.
Sad news indeed. Bob was a lovely man and passionate about air rifle sport.
He often ran the machines making Defiant, Piledriver and Exterminator pellets and tested the Pax rifles.
His one recurring fault, the one that got him banned and suspended so many times, was that his boundless enthusiasm and loyalty to the Pax brand meant he couldn't help plugging them at every possible opportunity. It must have driven the admin team crazy.
RIP Bob, a proper character.
